Why is audience analysis necessary for effective communication?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To tailor the message to the audience’s needs, prior knowledge, and level
Audience analysis helps a communicator understand the listeners’ age, language, prior knowledge, needs, interests, and expectations. The speaker can then choose suitable vocabulary, examples, detail, and tone. Using technical terms regardless of the audience may confuse them. The aim is not to serve only the speaker’s preference or reduce useful feedback.
